It is a clickable ALL/ALL Stun spell, it MAY use mana when casted.
Otherwise - invite a proper class, or spin and level up a proper class persona (as an illustation of Persona use)
There is a big discussion on Beta forums about this mission - basically, Stun is a lesser restriction than cure for Deepshade mission, as in 5 of 16 classes for cure and 6 of 16 for Stun.

It's all discussed here: Laurion Inn - Final Fuge | EverQuest Forums (daybreakgames.com)

You need to make an Alternate Persona of the class that can cast stun spells.

Careful with beta forums, one day you'll never see the 2023 ones again!!! So much lost information. If it's not on a third party website like EQResource it can be gone in a flash.

whelp i was enjoying this expansion but this ruins it for me completely

War,Clr,Pal,Rng,Dru,Mnk,Brd,Rog,Shm,Nec,Wiz,Mage,Enc can ALL stun with the Wep Entwined Hammer, put it in primary and stun boss. Player made smithing wep. Makes mission 100 times easier.

Also, maybe the point of using a mana stun was to bring back actual grouping and have people who play classes who are going dead in EQ

I am not seeing that the effect of the Entwined Hammer, that being Ethersmash, is also an effect of a cast spell. So, it stuns, but does it work here?

I think it was confirmed in another thread that the hammer will work for the stun.

Gnoll Hide Lariat also works. Had a guildie farm it up to test.

For tuning issues: I'm not quite sure how dev's intend for it to work but the 3rd(iirc) mini drains all of the tanks mana even if he isn't attacking or casting. Also the mini's really don't like to be pulled sometimes, but that could've been the usual server lag type of problem. Regardless, if there's any aoe as a tank you should be ready to hit a button if you're undergeared or have a bad healer because there's a decent chance you'll eat it.

Fugue you too, buddy!

Entwined Hammer works on the boss, also works when a pet wields them. My mage's pet tanked the boss and used a pair of hammers, unlocked the shield stance in a few procces.

Used an Entwinned Hammer on my bard. Hit Flurry of Notes the first time Kar locked. I might get a couple more for my mages, I dunno. I also had a necro in the group casting their stuns.

I got the Plucked achievement on my Shadow Knight by running super far from the emote, but I was the only one who got it, which others have said happened to them.

Eyyy, fugueaboutit!

Bard - duel wield Gnoll Hide Lariat and Flurry of Notes works like a dream.

As for the "Plucked" achieve, well.... by now I am sure everyone has figured out how to get it

You are not the "first" to talk about that achievement

Warrior and pet tanks are fine (no mana), SK is fine (thought leech as Firethorn dies or on next mob), Paladin is fine (Marr's gift). Basic "know your class abilities" test for Pal/SK. Beyond that there are cleric, necro, bard, bst, mage abilities that also provide a mana dump that can be used at or near the end of Firethorn or at the start of the next mini.

Plucked appears to have been fixed so the whole group can get it now. Happy hunting!

* your mileage may vary but multiple people have reported full groups getting it.

If a crafted weapon works that solves this.

They should have just used the Mearatas stun bane code for detection (which iirc doesn't have issues?), but this sounds fine.

Any good stun weapons I can put in the offhand next to my bard's Entwined Hammer? Or weapons I can wield with a Shadow Knight that work? Specifically weapons that are particularly effective or easy to get.
